Miscellaneous.
The Imnrorcil AVcatlicr System.
UY MAX ADELEII.
I intend, ultimately, to reform tho
v.-Jiolefrovernincnt of tlio United States.
I shall tear it out, reconstruct it, shako
upsomo kind of an original aud .sur
prising policy, aud begin all over again.
I think I will run it on it contract some
how, and reliovo tho people of all their
present duties, excopt tho duty of up-
iij'iiiK casn.
But at present I am considering tho
caso or tho Probability man who med
tiled with our great American weather.
1 think ho means well and tries consci
entiously to do his best, but his avstom
s radically defective, and tho conso-
quenco is that his conjectures aro do-
I'picaUIy incorrect qui to half tho time.
Tho inconvenience caused by these mis
take, not only to tho people generally,
but to mo personally, is inconceivably
groat, and It is not to bo endured any
longer.
For itistauci', if I read in tho morn
ing that tills great Probability person
enttrtains a conviction that wo shall
havo a clear day in my neighborhood,
I placo confidence, in his assurance. I
removu tho roof of my house in order
to dry the garret thoroughly, and I
walk down town with n now umbrella
under my arm. Now it is plainly evi
dent that if, after all, It does begin to
rain, and I am obliged to unfurl that
umbrella aud ruin it witli tiio wet, und
I nm compelled, when I arrive at homo,
to witness my family floating around in
tho dining roam upon a raft constructed
out of tho old clothes horso nnd a few
bed slats and pio-boards, tlio govern
ment for which Washington died Is a
failure.
Or, suppose that our friend at tho
weather efllcc asserts that n thunder
ftorm Is certain to elriko my section of
tho country upon a given day. I bo
lievo lilm. I rush out my lightning
rods and buelilo thorn to tho chlmtioya
and set them around on tho roof and
plant them out In tho yard, and rivet
them upon tho hired girl ; and I placo
my family safely in feather beds in tlio
middlo of tho room, and drink all tho
milk in tho neighborhood, aud prevail
upon tho tax collector to go and stand
an hour or two under a treo wlioro ho
will bo most certain to bo struck by
lightning. And when all thejo arrange
ments aro completed, and I fool equal
to tao promised emergency, suppose
that thunder atarm does not eoino'.'
When I watch tint tux collector tally
out from under that umbrageous troo
and begin to assess my property, count
ing in all thoso lightning rods at doublo
their cost, Is thoro any reason to won
der that 1 sit and sigh for sumo respou.
slblo despot who will givo us a Proba
bility who graspi tho surject of tho
weather, as it were, lu a moro coinpro
hetislvo manner V
But I know hint now. Ho shall nover
again betray mo as ho did with that last
conjecture- concerning tho cyclone, llo
said It would sweep over my district on
tho morning of tho 5th, and so I arobo
before daybreak and proceeded to n ten
aero lot, whero I fastened rnysolf to u
sheet anchor, filled my pocket with pig
icau, loitered myself to tho fence and
placed my family in a burglar proof
safe, which I tied lo my leg, aud lixed
tho preecrvlug kcttlo tightly over my
head with n dog chain In order to pro-
torvo my hair. I stayed thoro until
llvo o'clock in tho afternoon waiting for
uio Bimooti to swoop down upon mo.
But It was n failure a dUgracoful fail,
ure. Tho only thing of interest that
occurred was tho mass mooting hold by
tuo people oi tlio neighborhood, Whon
I looked out from under tho preserving
kettle early In tho afternoon, I was sur
prised lo observo that tho fence- upon
tho four Rldea of tlio lot was illled with
FRIDAY, APRIL
men nnd boya roosting around nnd
watching mo. Tho boys whistled upon
their fingers nnd mado unpleasant ro
murks. When I mado a threatening
fioluro several of tho men got off tho
fenco suddenly and contented thotn
solves with looking at mo between tho
rails. After a whilo four policemen
enmo up, in company with a physician ;
thoy untied mo, knocked mo down with
club, applied it blister plaster to my
neck, and would havo taken mo te tho
nsylum but fur tho timely Interference
of some of my friends.
And tlio tornado has not como yet,
So you will pcrcelvothat thucnllronys
tern is n. humbug; It is fraudulent j it
needs to bo burst, I may say, into Im
mortal smash, and smashed, in a cortain
sense, into dlmltiutlvosmlthereeiis; nnd
iiien l am going lo arraugo a plati by
which this business of thunder storms
and hurricines can bo reduced, as It
were, fur instance, to a condition of pos
itive certainty.
Tho basis of my system is corns. Tho
marvellous accuracy with which chang'
es of tho weather can bo foretold by a
man whoso feet arc deco.-atod Willi thoso
oxcroicences is so well known tnat it is
hardly worth whilo to consider at lcnulh
at this particular crisis, tho human corn
in its meteorological characteristics. It
is quito certain, however, tliat it will bo
impossible lo expect tho Probability
man to walk around tho country onco
or twico every day, for tho purpose of
submitting Ids corns to tho diverse at
mospheric lnllucnces which exist be
tween tho Atlantic nnd Pacillc oceans.
It would wear out any man to bo com
pelled to visit each of tho States and
Territories every twenty-four hours;
mid at any rate, tho weather In Massa
chusetts might change suddenly after
Ida departure from there, and while ho
was fooling around Kansas.
It will bo better, therefore, to havo
him kept stationary. I lironoso. in
that oveut, that ho should buy up any
ivaiiaoio corns that is in tho market it
any given State, and havo it transplant
ed und grafted upon his own too. Doubt
ess there aio patriotic citizens in ovory
portion of tho lan.1 who would bo wili
ng to lay upon tho altar of their he
loved country their most cherished
corns. I havo one that I can warrant
to bo tried and truo in tlio moteorologl
cal service, nnd I am leady to givo it
up Instantly for tho benefit of my fel
low countrymen if Congress will ap
propriate a low thousand acres of pub
lie land as a compensation.
The Probability olllcial might obtain,
let us assume, ono corn from each State,
nnd a reliablo bunion to represent each
territory. When these wero engrafted
upon his feet in n beautiful condition,
acli ono would, as a matter of course,
bo peculiarly susceptiblo to tho atmo
pheric inlluencos which prevail in its
native clime. All wo havo to do then,
is to compel tho weather man to wear
light boots, oxcentionally tight boots,
vhilo ho is not attending to business,
so that his barometers, I may say, will
ncquiro tuo rcquisiio amount of sensi
bility. Then I should havo pipes laid
from each Stato to tho office in Wash
ington for tho purpose of conveying tho
diflercnt varieties of atmosphere to the
foot of tho Probability person. Sap
pose then ho desired to make a guess in
regard to tho weather In Louisiana. I
should havo a man stationed at tho end
of tho pipo iu New Orleans with a fan,
and ho could waft zephyrs, as It were,
upon the Louisiana corn, which would
rc-pond instantly, and wo should havo
the facts about tho weather in thatEtato
with poetical precision and mathemati
cal accuracy. When wo admitted a now
Stato our friend could weld on a new
corn, or, if tho Mormons succeeded in
procuring the admission of their terri
tJry n3 a State, wo could blow up tho
Utah bunion and plant a corn so as to
preserve tho properties. The Capita.

At this sorlo-comic address from his

und returned his pocket-book to its

Reaching tho first gate, Duvall sat still

Ueonco of tho Prlnco'ti sunny hours of

When Flsk was about ten years of ago,
lie kept n small market stall at Beniilng

steamboat man, Daniel Drow, camoto
tho market with his basket on ids arm.
Hu asked young Flsk if his eggs wero

"O, James, what mado you tell sucii a

Wonders of tlio Lightning.
A Hash of lightning rushes through
spaco at sucii a rato that It might go
from tho earth to tho moon in ono sec
onti. xiien what timo 13 allowed a
man's nerves to transmit to tho brain
tho impression of a stroko of lightning?
And what timo lias tho brain to under
stand such a crash ? Absolutely nono !
Tho Hash occurs, and ill darkness a llfo
is cut off. Experience boars cut this
deduction, for Prof. Tyndall relates
thus his own experience:
"Some timo ago I happened to stand
in tho presence of a numerous audionco
with a battery of fifteen largo Leyden
jars charged besldo me; through somo
awkardnes3 on my part, I touched a
wlro leading from tho battery and tho
dischargo wont through my body. Life
was absolutely blotted out for a very
sensible interval, without a traco of
pain. In a second or so consciousness
returned; I saw myself In the presonco
of tho audience and apparatus, and by
tho help of these external appearances,
immediately concluded that I hail re
ceived the battery discharges. Tho in
tellectual consciousness of my position
was restored with exceeding rapidity;
but not so tho optical consciousness. To
prevent tlioaudionco from being alarm
ed, I observed that it had often been
my desiro to receive accidentally such
a shock, aud that my wish had at length
been fulfilled. But whilo making this
remark, tho appearance-which my body
presented to myself w:u that of a num
ber of separato pieces. Tho arms, for
example wero detached lrom tho trunk
and -seemed suspended in tho air. In
f.ict,memory and tlio power of reasoning
appeared to bo compieto beforo tlio op
tic norvo was restored to healthy action.
nut what I wish chiefly to dwell upon
hero is tho absolute painlessness of tlio
shock ; und thoro cm not bo a doubt
that to a person struck dead by light
ning, tho passage from life to death oc
curs witiiout consciousness being In tho
least degrco implicated. It is an abrupt
stoppago of sensation unaccompanied
by a pang."

covered with perspiration, Randolph
aroso and bogged tlio honorablo gentlo-

Mr. Kremer retorted ns follows:
"I havo ouly to say in roply to my

livery gentleman present was in
amazement, and waited, almost breath-
lossly, for tho moment whon tho mar
quis whould sheathe his sword in tho
bosom of tho now repentant count.
"Gentleman," said tlio marnuis. "I
am a l'reucliman, a soldier and a friend
I havo received a blow from a French-
man, a soldior and a friend. I know
and acknowledge tho laws of honor,
and I will oboy them. Every man who

irom our earliest years. But, French
men, I will obey tho laws of honor nml
Vance; I will stab lilm to tho heart."
Upon this ho throw his arms around
his unfortunato friend, aud said: "My
dear Do Meric, I forgivo you, if you
will forgivo mo for tho irritation I have

men," added tho marquis, "though I

How Tlicy round It.
If wo may believe a Detroit paper, a
singular affair took placo there recently.
A man fell overboard in tho river and
was drowned. Attempts were mado to
find tho body in vain. While tho men
wero thus engaged, a buyer of Junk, nn
Italian, watched them for a whilo, and
then proposed to get a loaf of baker's
bread, put souio quicksilver into ono
end, and seriously asserted that on be
ing thrown into tho water It would
float to a point directly over the body.
and then stand still, no was hooted at
and told to go about his Junk-buying,
not a man believing in tho old woman's
whim, as they termed it. Tho Italian
went away, but returned in a llttlo
while, throw a loaf of bread into tho
river near whero tho man went off tho
dock, and in a moment called tho atten
tion of two men below, to tho fact that
tho loaf was spinning around iiko a top.
It went partly under tlio wharf, stood
still for a moment, and then went half
a block down stream, turning right and
left, aud, us vouched for by llvo differ
ent men, stood nearly two minutes
against tho current, which was lloating
driftwood by it. Very much excited,
tho Italian shouted to tho searchers to
drag over tho spot. They wero further
down, and it was half an hour beforo
they passed over tho spot, but when
they did, it was to hook into tho clothes
of tho drowned sallor.and ho was hauled
to tho deck.

but, alas! iu a most deplorablo condi

succeeded in prying his month open

ho finally reported tho following as tho

poured half a gallon of hot water down
tlio throat of our frozen friend. This
brought up an almost unlntelllgiblo
